Japan Style

Overall,I enjoyed being in the class.Mr.Hsiao is very nice and very caring for each of his students.He teach us about the things that we should know about English and about life.I have learned so many things from this class,especially,from the run-on and fragments lesson.In the class,I do not really have much friend because I am too quiet.However,I got to talked to Marcy the most because she is my debate partner.She is a very nice young lady.She also seem little bit shy like me.I guess that is why Mr.Hsiao picked us to be together.Lol.Ernesto and Eduardo make the class to be more enjoyable because they were always say somethings funny in class.Priscilla,I saw you at the last minutes when we were gonna go out.I actually say hi to you at your work place.:)I did not really how to start a conversation with you,so I hope you don't feel bad about it.However,when I saw you next time at Black Angus,I will try to talk to you more.Hopefully I could get you as a server.^-^

I would like to thanks Jenny,Nic,Courtney and Orlando for taking their times to come talked to us in class.Their stories are interesting and inspirational.I liked how the speakers have their own unique personalities.Most of the speakers were funny,especially Nic.He is the funniest one out of all.As for Courtney,I actually wanted to hear her sing to us in class.It kind of sad that I did not got to hear her sing.I try to search for her vdo on youtube,but I could not find it.If anyone know where to see her vdo,please send a link to me plz?Anyway,by listening to the speakers' stories and advices,it make me feel that I have to keep doing what I am doing now to reach my goal.I should not give up.I also would like to thank Mr.Hsiao for letting us relax for one day and bring in your former students to talked to us about their lives and gave us some great advices.I am sure that I will take their advices and use them to help me in life. :)

I went to eat at Black Angus near Cerritos Mall with my sister on the weekend around 2 PM afternoon. There were very less customers there.I would say about 4 tables in the whole entire restaurant.The server is really nice btw.As for the food,I ordered medium rare 22oz.Full Flavored Rib eye which cost about $22.99 and come with 2 sides.For the sides,I got a loaded baked potatoes soup and loaded baked potato.The loaded baked potatoes soup taste okay. It kind of little bit too salty though.The loaded bake potato taste great.They gave you cheddar cheese,small pieces of bacon,some vegetables,sour cream,and butter on top of the potato.I have to say that the quality of the rib-eye streak is great.It is soft and juicy.However,the streak should have more taste.At least it should be more salty.Anyway,my sister ordered medium rare 16oz t-bone,which is $23.99 and also come with 2 sides.I think that her streak taste better than mine.It have more taste.Overall,I like the service and the decoration inside of the restaurant is nice.However,the price of the food is a little high.I would not recommend you to ordered Rib eye though because it does not have much taste,unless you put the streak sauce on it.

I think that the field trip to the Bolsa Chica Conservancy was great.I enjoyed learning about the coastal wetlands and the different kinds of animals and plants that are located in the Bolsa Chica Conservancy.When we got to Bolsa Chica Conservancy,the students were separated into two groups.My sister and I actually made two new friends from Golden West College.I do not remember their names,but they are Vietnamese,and are very nice and easy to talk to.We first started talking to them because we were the last group of people that walked toward the Bolsa Chica wetland.After that,my sister and I talked to them about many random things while on the trip.The group that my sister and I were in got to go toured the wetland first. The tour guide of my group was pretty nice.She explained the information clearly and understandably.I remember she told us that the Bolsa Chica Conservancy has about 1,200 acres of wetlands and 118 acres of upland habitat.She also said that the Bolsa Chica Conservancy is one of the largest wetlands in California.While we were on a trail,we saw a lizard and a rabbit.At first I did not see the rabbit because it camouflaged so well with the brush.Later on,the tour guide showed us this ice plant, which kind of looked like it was covered with ice.I found this plant to be interesting because of the look-alike ice that covered up the plant.The tour guide told us that this plant is an invading plant because when it grows on a soil,it would get all the water from the soil and would not leave any for any native plants around it.She said the way to get rid of it is to put a bag over the plant,so that it would not have any oxygen to breath.However,this plant has a very large root,so even though the plant dies,it might grow back up again because of the deep root under the soil.The tour guide also said that the wetlands provide habitat for migrating,wintering,and breeding birds,produce oxygen,provide natural flood control, provide homes for endangered species,and serve as a safe place for native plants and animals to stay.We also got a chance to see the mud where there were many white birds.The tour guide said that the mud provides a good food place for the birds. After we finished walking on the five-mile trail,we went to the environment groups’ booths,so that we could learn about what each group’s purpose were.They were giving away free materials,such as brochure and mouse pad,so I got some.We also got to go see the live animals,which could be found in the Bolsa Chica Conservancy,in the glass cases inside this building.I got to see many animals,such as,fish,snakes,and spiders.All the snakes and spiders that I saw were scary to me.The thing that stood out to me the most was the squirrel’s fur.When I touched the fur,it felt kind of like my cat’s fur,except that my cat’s fur is softer and smoother.After we finished, my sister and I decided to go eat at Jack in the Box.When we got there,I ordered large natural fries and a medium soft drink.My sister ordered seasoned curly fries and strawberry smoothie.There were not many people at the restaurant.There were only four other students from Cerritos College that went to eat there.We spent about forty-five minutes eating there.Around 12:45PM,my sister and I started to head back to the meeting place.We actually wanted to go to the beach and take some pictures, but we did not have time left for that.When we got to the meeting place,we headed back to the bus.Overall,I think that this field trip was great.I got to exercise by walking on a five-mile trail and just relax and chill with my sister.However,I wished that the weather would have cooperated.
